Not So Incredible...

Mr. Edward Norton will NOT be playing The Hulk in Marvel's The Avengers, set to release in 2012. As many of you may remember, Norton played the mild mannered Bruce Banner and the ill-tempered Hulk back in 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Apparently Edward Norton wasn't the team player they needed in the star studded cast including Robert Downy Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Hemsworth.
Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios President of Production issued this statement:
Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members... The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H., Chris E., Sam, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks.
Wowowow. If Edward Norton wasn't angry before, I bet he's turning green now!
